Best Shared Hosting

There are different sorts of shared hosting accounts appropriate for different web pages in terms of the resources or the shared hosting platform they need. To pick the most optimal shared hosting service for your website, you must evaluate what server-side software programs it demands, how many visits per day you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be satisfied.

Shared web hosting - Assets

The most adequate alternative for small sized online portals with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this form of web space hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which lowers the total price per person substantially. There are different web hosting plans varying from one web hosting provider to another, supplying different amounts of data storage space and monthly traffic, different e-mail box account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can order an account that will include the specifications your web page in fact demands. You will not need to pay plenty of money for an account you will not utilize, or end up with a small package that cannot host the web page.

Shared Hosting - Minuses

A weakness of the shared web hosting platform is that the hosting servers have some software installed on them and you cannot install additional software platforms. Given web portals, mainly online shops, request applications to be present on the hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared website hosting platform, you can install only software programs that do not require full server root access.

Virtual Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For online portals that need complete root access, or if your portal has many thousands or even millions of visitors per day, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual web server is a software imitation of a dedicated solution and it functions in a strictly identical way.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both environments traditionally come with full server root access and can be rebooted through a software tool by the user, independently from the hosting provider. Akin to the shared website hosting accounts, the virtual private servers and the dedicated hosting server packages include different specifications based on what the hosting supplier has to offer. A VPS hosting package includes guaranteed disk storage, random access memory and CPU quotas that can sometimes be enhanced for short spans of time if there are unused system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is utilizing, and it can be revamped by altering or appending components. A virtual private web server is easier to tackle as it involves a virtualization software platform, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, check statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated server is more elaborate, so such a solution would rather be utilized by competent users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, some web hosting companies provide managed dedicated hosting services where they carry out hosting server administration procedures instead of the client. This can be included in the package or an additional service.
